I am delighted to introduce an important viewpoint in the world of sustainability – the viewpoint from our new intern, Carolyn Hooker. Carolyn is an African American student in SPC’s College of Education working on her bachelor’s degree in Educational Studies and Community Leadership and a novice on the topic of sustainability. Despite being a novice, she is passionate about helping her community save on costs and live healthier lives. She is a brilliant researcher and fast learner and is working on two parallel paths: investigating sustainable solutions for her community and learning to compost (so far). Today, I am introducing her blog: Sustainability – The African American Community and her first post: What does Sustainability mean to you?
I invite all of you to see the world of sustainability from a different and important perspective. After all, those of us who have been doing this for a while know the benefits that can help anyone, whether in diverse communities or diverse income levels. We need voices like Carolyn’s to provide a credible force in their respective communities. Check her out today!
